May 7th, 1992

We are in St. Louis for the rubber match.

The Cardinals are pitching Dave Fleming (1-4, 5.23).

The Giants have Charlie Vinson Jr. (2-2, 2.66).

I am hitting seventh.

Both Robby Thompson and Craig Grebeck are hurting but they are gutting it out to help us get that win.

I came up with two out in the 2nd and I grounded out right back to Fleming.

The Cards opened the scoring in the 4th when Luis Gonzalez crossed on a Terry Pendleton sac fly.
Then Bernie Williams hit a two run home run.
I handled a Wade Boggs grounder for the 2nd out.

Cardinals lead 3-0

I came up with two out in the 5th and grounded out to Ray Martinez at short.

In the bottom of the inning, Gonzalez scored on a Martinez triple.
Then Joe Orsulak singled him home.
I caught a towering Pendleton pop to end the inning.

Cardinals lead 5-0

I took care of another Boggs grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 6th.

With two out and a man on, Matt brought in Ted Power.
He got the 3rd out.

I took care of a Gonzalez grounder for the final out in the 7th.

I came up with one out in the 8th and grounded out to Martinez again.

I caught a Williams pop for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 8th.

We ended up getting shut out on only three hits.

None of them were mine. I went 0 for 3.

Now we head to Montreal.
